Robert Passovoy, M.D.

Philosophy

The practice of Medicine is far more than diagnosing diseases and “pushing pills”.  It demands willingness on the doctor’s part to learn about the people in his care and to see them as unique individuals with varied life changes.  Only by listening, learning and teaching each other can a doctor and patient arrive at the best health care outcomes possible. Dr. Passovoy listens.
